Your Old Laptops Are Worth More Than You Think. We’ll Prove It.

Every few years, the same thing happens. IT signs off on a refresh. Finance approves the budget. New machines arrive. And somewhere in a storeroom, the old fleet starts gathering dust alongside whatever residual value it still holds.

Here’s the part most companies miss: that residual value is significant. A three-year-old Dell Latitude or Lenovo ThinkPad still fetches solid money on the second-hand market. An outgoing fleet of MacBook Pros? Those are worth considerably more than the nothing you’ll get from the e-waste recycler.

We Buy Your Old IT Equipment

Epic Deals buys end-of-life technology from businesses across South Africa. Laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktop computers, monitors. Whether it’s a planned tech refresh or salvage from an office closure, if your employees used it, we can sell it – because consumers want the same devices your business is retiring.

We don’t charge you for collection. We don’t charge you for disposal. We pay you. The number is almost always more interesting than companies expect, because we sell directly to consumers through our own retail platform rather than flipping to another middleman.

What we typically buy from corporates:

Laptops and ultrabooks (Dell, Lenovo, HP, Apple, Acer, Asus), tablets and iPads, smartphones (bulk fleet devices, company-issued phones), desktop PCs and all-in-ones, iMacs and Mac Minis, monitors and displays, smartwatches and wearables, and headphones or audio equipment.

Minimum value: we focus on items worth R1,500+ per unit, though we’re flexible on high-volume lots of lower-value items.

How Corporate IT Disposal Works With Us

Send us your asset list

A spreadsheet of make, model, quantity, and approximate condition is perfect. Don’t have a clean list? A few photos and a rough description gets the conversation started. Email [email protected].

We value your fleet

Based on current market pricing and our own retail data, you’ll receive a transparent per-unit and total valuation. We break it down so your finance team can see exactly what each asset class is worth.

We handle data sanitisation

All storage media undergoes thorough data wiping before any device enters our refurbishment pipeline. Your company’s data obligations don’t end when the hardware leaves the building, and we treat that seriously.

We collect. Nationwide.

Single-site pickup? Sorted. Multi-site rollout across provinces? Done it. Secure, insured collection and transport, tracked from your door to our facility. For larger engagements, our team comes on-site to audit, grade, and pack.

You get paid

Fast, clean EFT. Full documentation. An audit trail that satisfies compliance and procurement. Prefer consignment? We offer that too, and it typically yields a higher total return as your equipment sells through our retail platform.

Why Companies Choose Epic Deals Over Traditional ITAD

We pay you. They charge you.

Most IT asset disposal companies lead with compliance and disposal, and they bill you for the privilege. We lead with financial recovery. The compliance and responsible handling come standard, but the headline is this: you walk away with a payment, not an invoice.

We retail directly. That’s the edge.

Traditional ITAD providers sell your old equipment into wholesale channels, auctions, or export markets. Each intermediary takes a cut. We skip all of that. Your retired MacBooks and ThinkPads go directly onto our retail platform. Fewer middlemen means more value recovered for you.

Pricing precision from a decade of data.

We know what a 2022 Dell Latitude 5530 with a dent in the lid and a missing charger is worth, because we’ve sold hundreds of them. That means more accurate valuations for you, not the conservative, cover-our-backside estimates most disposal companies offer.

On-site capability for larger jobs.

For tech refreshes involving hundreds of units, we send our team to your premises. We audit, grade, and collect on-site, minimising disruption to your operations and giving you immediate visibility into the valuation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the minimum number of devices you’ll buy?

There’s no hard minimum, but we’re primarily set up for business-scale engagements. Think 20+ devices or R50,000+ in total value. If you have fewer items, our consumer trade-in programme at epicdeals.co.za/trade-in handles individual devices.

How do you handle data security?

All devices undergo data sanitisation at our facility before entering the refurbishment or remarketing pipeline. For organisations with stricter requirements, we can arrange on-site data wiping or provide certificates of destruction.

We’re not in Gauteng. Can you still help?

We serve every province in South Africa. We’re based in North West Province and have logistics capability from Cape Town to Limpopo. Being outside the Gauteng bubble is actually our operational advantage: lower overheads, which means better pricing for you.

How quickly do you pay?

For outright purchases, payment is typically made within 5 business days of receiving and grading your equipment. For consignment arrangements, payouts are made on a regular schedule as items sell.

Can you handle a phased tech refresh?

Yes. Many of our corporate partners send us equipment in batches over weeks or months as they roll out new machines. We’re set up for ongoing relationships, not just one-off clearances.

We also have old printers, servers, and networking equipment. Do you buy those?

Our focus is on consumer-sellable technology: laptops, tablets, phones, desktops, monitors, and wearables. We don’t typically buy servers, networking equipment, or enterprise-only hardware because our retail platform serves individual consumers. If your refresh includes a mix of both, we’ll happily buy the consumer tech and you can arrange separate disposal for the rest.
